    Welp. I was expecting more stories shared or just discussion in general... Sigh.

    Exactly what I'm saying. Why does it matter?

    Does it matter whether someone on SH is boy/girl/they or them?

    How Should I Go About Rebooting My Work?

    I think you should both restart but keep the original draft to salvage it. Rewrite the idea in an outline, from start to finish, the main plot/message of the story. Then, from your original draft, take ideas and scenes from it that you like and edit/polish it. I can tell you, I have 3...

    Spam Messages

    What are your guys opinions on spam messages from people? The ones where they want to "give you a publishing opportunity on your story!" I get these a lot, mainly on Wattpad, and I get tired of them. I'm pretty sure they're bots, like 95% of the time, but like what about my profile pops out to...

    first chapter review

    Few things for your request on feedback that's more considered a heavy editing: 1. You have way to many run on sentences. Don't be afraid to keep sentences short and simple, or to end them. It was hard reading and reading and reading - there needs to be breaks. 2. Add more detail to the scene...

    Your expectation on a scifi/fantasy

    I love seeing world building throughout the story, not all at once in the beginning within some prologue. Following the main character, they should be learning how their world/universe works, the laws, the social structure, and more. That's one of the main points of a main character, especially...

    Recommendations Toxic female antagonist

    First thing that comes to my mind with a toxic female is selfishness. When females abuse the system to get what they want, and especially if they manipulate and use sexism to get their way. I think that's really toxic, in my opinion.

    Side Stories?

    For me, I would just plan a short novel of the scenes that just don't fit in the main storyline. Sometimes the side scenes are nice, but if they don't benefit the main plot moving forward, they might not be necessary.

    Aim while writing

    I personally would start with your enjoyment. Writing can be a hobby for yourself, and that's where you want to start. When you finish your draft, if you want others to read and enjoy it, that's when you edit/revise with feedback they give you to reach a broader audience. Overall, it depends if...

    Should I try to outline?

    I think Outlines help direct you from point a-b in a simple way to get the rough draft out. Outlines can be vague directions of the important points that happen within the chapter. For me, I write out my ideas chapter by chapter like: -main character meets other character, they discuss this...

    DDT is an Acronym, it was also a code name for my book series. Later in the books, I will reveal what it means. It is not the pesticide.

    DDT Chapter 1

    Haha! Well, DDT in my book does not represent the pesticide! It's an acronym, just without periods between each letter.

    DDT Chapter 1

    I decided to share a free sample chapter of my book! I thought that it could help reach more readers. And yes, it's a horribly long chapter to read, just a heads up haha. If anyone would like to check it out, here it is! https://www.scribblehub.com/series/988595/ddt-guardian-of-the-watch/...

    Shouting the names of abilities.

    I would assume it's a forum of expression of what they're harnessing in order to perform the ability, but for me, I find it cheesy and not needed. In books, it's cooler (for me at least) to describe what the person is feeling and concentrating on to cast the ability/power. Showing is better than...

    Three things I need to do this year: -Get new glasses -Apply for disability to help me live life -Write a new book by the end of the year. Simple. Hopefully I do all three.

    Favorite food?

    Love cheeseburgers, I am a sucker for Mcdonalds. Allergic to pineapple, specifically the enzyme in it. But I have a geographical tongue. My tastebuds constant shift and change, there's gaps between them, therefore my tongue swells up to high amounts of sugar, salt, spicy foods, and a lot of...

    What do you guys think about TikTok now?

    I enjoyed Tik Tok, but right now my FYP is full of trash. The algorithm isn't on point for me, nothing has been catching my eye or entertaining as of now. Honestly, went back to watching TV shows more than being on Tik Tok. Not sure what's going on, but it's not good.

    Traditional Publishing or Self Publishing?

    I actually published through amazon! As nice as it is they provide a ISBN number, it's only registered in their system; so, using a world wide ISBN registration is better so it's filed world wide :) It gives the option to be ready if a publishing company would like to take on a story. You...
